It is a scientific fact that calories don’t count on your birthday. I should know, I just proved it. Despite the massive amount of calories consumed this weekend, I managed not to gain any weight! I even went down half a pound. Seriously, this is quite a feat, I feel like I ate my way through the weekend.
It all started here,

Oh my, what a pretty empty pot. This looks interesting. I wonder what will go in the pot?

Oh sweet baby Jesus. They put cheese in the pot! Heavenly melted cheese. Mmm, and bread to dip with! Carb out here I come. What could be better than melted cheese?

Oh right. Wine and cheese. Why yes, I would like some cheese with my wine. (Lame, I know. You should expect nothing less.)
Well this is turning out to be a great birthday. How wonderful! Best evening out in a long time. What? We aren’t done? But I am so full…

And my pants just popped and the button hit our waitress in the eye. Not really, or maybe. Sweet melted chocolate peanut butter goodness. I think I will make you a diet staple. I don’t care how fattening you are. I ate you with strawberries. That is kind of like a diet, right?
My new best friend,

If you have one of these near you, I highly recommend it. B and I both thought it was the best dining experience we have both had. Sure, it’s pricey, but I am worth it. I mean, it is worth it! This kind of makes me want to invest in a fondue pot. You know, since it is part of my regular diet now.

Heck yeah! Brian and I go there twice a year with friends (for my birthday and then for our friend Holly’s birthday which is 6 months apart from mine so it works out nicely). Although I think this year we’re gonna go to Beni Hana because we have been making fondue at home fairly often. It’s a GREAT thing to have in your diet!!
I also completely pigged out this weekend and drank a lot (ok, too much) wine. Birthdays are awesome!
man that was the best dining experience ever! we had a really great time.
Hey! You said WE were going there together.
Great photos, by the way. The color is really nice.
How weird….for some reason I can no longer see any of your pictures. Must be some dumb JDMC thing….
Oooh mmmm! Now you have totally given me fondue cravings…and wine cravings! Yum. We don’t have one of those restaurants here in Reno but I wish they’d get around to it already. Happy late birthday, by the way!
Oh Fondue! I am like a deer in headlights!
